How to keep command prompt open even after getting an output in sublime text 2

I'm learning C through K & R and for it I'm using Turbo c++ v 4.5. Since it is and ancient compiler I have been searching for better one and came across Sublime Text 2 editor. I have managed to create a build file and it works fine to capture errors and to give correct output.
However, after giving an output, command prompt closes itself within a second.I can barely analyze an output.
I'm using 32-bit windows xp sp3 and MinGW as a compiler.
Here is my build file :

{
"cmd" : ["gcc", "-Wall", "-time", "$file" , "-o",  "$file_base_name"],
"selector" : "source.c",
"shell" : true,
"working_dir" : "$file_path"
}

Steps I follow:
1.I write program in sublime and build it using above build file.
2.Then I go to folder where I have saved my written programs.
3.I find application file(.exe) of program I've written previously and double click it to open.
4.I enter inputs and command prompt closes itself after a millisecond of printing an output.

So my question : Is there any way to keep open command prompt for some time or it should be closed when I do it manually. If it is possible please post execution build file for 'C' so I can get output in Sublime itself.

Just modify your build system like so:

{
    "cmd" : ["start", "cmd", "/k", "gcc", "-Wall", "-time", "$file", "-o",  "$file_base_name"],
    "selector" : "source.c",
    "shell" : true,
    "working_dir" : "$file_path"
}

"start", "cmd" opens a new cmd window, and the "/k" options ensures that it stays open after the subsequent command (in this case, gcc) returns. You can now scroll through the compiler's output, and run additional commands if you wish, such as executing the just-built program.
